#Spotted at a Country Christmas Market in Aotearoa New Zealand:

Two small humans (Twins? 4?) in floral dresses and increasingly dishevelled pigtails are rolling over and over on a grass lawn.
Spinning around and falling over with much aplomb while roaring that they are: "VERY ROLLY POLLY!"

A woman (60s?) is sitting at a picnic table surrounded by rolling hills and mountains in the distance.
A newly purchased substantial cactus sits at her elbow.
A friend (70s?) stops to exclaim: "Now THAT plant's optimistic, isn't it?" before breaking into a deliciously filthy cackle.

A young human (9?) is inspecting a stall selling magic spells in boxes.
Spell purchasing is a very serious business and she's considering each option.
Biting her lip in thought, shifting from foot to foot.
One does not make occult Christmas decisions lightly.

A tiny human (2?) is MOST AFFRONTED.
He directs a tremendously judgemental scowl at people sitting on a gentle grass slope.
Suddenly he erupts, asking Dad: "Why are they all SITTING DOWN?!" with the air of a militant personal trainer meeting their new jelly fish client for the first time.

A group of young humans (7 to 10?) are sitting in a circle on a patch of grass, listening attentively as one plays a tune on a penny whistle.
She's not quite got the notes right but she's making up for it in confidence and enthusiasm.
They're visibly impressed.
